If I had a million dollars...I'd invest in a gay club next to the Ground Zero Mosque

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. That's just what Greg Gutfeld is intending to do with his NYC neighbors planning on building a mosque and Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in lower Manhattan.

If Muslims want to build a bridge between our two cultures in an area that is stained with innocent American blood at the hands of Islamic terrorists, I say sure. Muhammad, can you handle this? Mullah, can you handle this? Allah, can you handle this? I don't think they can handle this:

"I'm announcing tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in an available commercial space.

This is not a joke. I've already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance.

As you know, the Muslim faith doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I'm building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world.

The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps - but still want to dance."

The Twitter family has taken it upon itself to help come up with a name for Gutfeld's Bar. I suggested: Ba'ath House. You can read the others here.
